When Greek meets Greek then comes TIT

When Greek meets Greek then comes the
tug of war. Referring to the OakvieW
CONTEMPLATION between Mr.. Cleveland and
the coterie of Democratic leaders, MIR.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, who wasn't
there, says that his views as to the right
way of reducing the revenue are the same
this year as they were last; he stands now
precisely where he stood then. In talk
with friend last Wednesday he Is said to
have "intimated pretty strongly that no
set of men could fix up q measure and
bnlldoze him into its support" Colonel
Watterson, of Kentucky, who wasn't there
except in spirit. says that MIR. Randall, un-
less he renounces the error of his ways and
Is converted to Democracy, should be
'staken by the seat of the breeches and
pitched over into the Republican camp
where he belongs"

Making sugar from sorghum cane is now
claimed TO be as simple and sure as max
ing -four from wheat. 1t is only necessary
to build mills in farming regions where the
sorghum cane grows well and ripens early
enough TO escape September frosts Prob
ably no part of the union is better adapted
to the growth of that cane than southern
Kansas. Nothing seems now necessary
except to duplicate the sort of machinery
and employ the process used at Ft Scott
and to grow the cane to supply the mills.
The demand for good homegrown sugar
can be imagined when 1t is stated that the
crude saccharine imported from Cuba and
elsewhere costs this country considerable
over $50, 600, 600 a year, and on which the
people pay tariff tax of $50, 100000. 1t
takes nearly ali the wheat this country ex-
ports to pay for the sugar and molasses i'm
ported. This country will never be fairly
independent Of other countries in supplying
its wants until 1t produces its own sweeten.

The Rali at Armory Hail.

The "Young Spanish Americans
celebrated Independence Day last night
by social dance at the Armory Hall,
which was well attended by repre-
sentative body of citizens. From the
opening march at p. NJ. to the close
at 2 80 this morning the scene was one
of unrivalled gaiety and the utmost
good-humor prevailed. In addition
to usual polkas, schottisches and
waltzes the programme included a
number of Spanish national dances,
the rendition of which proved very
pleasing to both participants and on
lockers. Some of the costumes worn
by the ladies were of very handsome
composition and an observation from
the gallery revealed a very brilliant
and striking scene. The arrangements
were admirably conducted by A. F.
Coronel, Pedro Domalech, j. G. Cline,
A. w. Sepulveda and Harry Rose and
the guests were received with great
complaisance by Seflor Diaz, repre-
sentative of the Diplomatic Corps of
Mexico.

SAN DIEGO,S BAND.
A Little UnpieBsantry at New
York.


New YORK, September 16.-The
San reports concerning San Diego's
brass band that on Thursday they
arrived in New York, coming directly
from Boston, where their concerts
were received with attention, and
their managers feasted and petted by
Ben Butler. They called on the
Mayor for permit to parade the pub
lie streets, and the Chief promised to
send platoon OF police for their
escort, but advised them that they
must have a permit from the Park
Commissioners il they wanted to per-
form in the public parks.
THE REQUEST DENIED.
They then repaired to the Morton
House, put on their handsome
uniforms and prepared for the con-
cert, as they supposed that the Park
Commissioners would not hesitate to
comply with their request, but the
privilege was refused them, on the
ground that it was against the depart
ment rules. They packed their traps
and went home on the II O'Clock train
last night. The friends of the City
Guards are very indignant about
their treatment by the Park Com
missioners.

Brander and the. Bank.

1t is evidently the purpose of the
Nevada Bank people to throw all the
blame for the wheat catastrophe upon
the lac Vice-President, Mr.. Brander
Their organs say that as Flood was
sick and Mackay in Europe, it was
manifestly impossible for either Of
them to have anything to do with the
deal. The public thus far has de-
clined. with striking unanimity, to
adopt this convenient theory. There
are several little things in the way.
Mr.. Brander was merely clerk
for the manager of the bank. He
held a little stock to make him eligi-
BILE to the Vice-Presidency. His duty
was to carry out the policy his superb
ors planned, and from all accounts he
was faithful servant.
Before Mr.. Mackay went abroad the
bank had already invested 81, 900, 600
in the wheat gamble. Did Mr.. Mackay
ever hire clerk who would take such
responsibility in the presence of his
employer without gaining the en-
ployer's consent? Afterward, as the
deal extended, the bank began selling
it's securities. 1t sold $4,000, 900 OF
Southern Pacific bonds, 81, 500, 900 of
Northern Pacific and $1,000, 900 of
Market street cable bonds. Altogeth-
er it had not less than $11 ,000, 900
locked up in wheat. Mr.. Mackay was
in Europe, but he owned cable and
transcontinental telegraph line. His
address was known. Would his clerk
have ventured to clean out the strong
box of his bank, dispose Of its treas
ured securities and reduce it to a con-
dition that would have made it help
less in the presence of run, if he had
not had some authority from head
quarters?
Perhaps it was Mr.. Brander that
borrowed money on wheat from the
Union bank of London under Mr..
Mackay's eyes. The Union bank of
London is the institution in which the
Nevada banks alleged "nest egg" of
$4 500, 900 in English consols was de-
posted. How did it happen that with
this gilt-edged collateral in its pos
session, the Union bank was lately
selling out the Nevada banks wheat :?
If Mr.. Brander is to bear the re-
sponsibility for everything, his late
employers should see that nothing is
overlooked. Perhaps his name is
signed to the 5000, 900 of Nevada bank
acceptances held by private banker
OF this city.
The plain truth is that Mr.. Brander
did what he was told. Unless Mackay
and Flood paid him well for allowing
himself to l,e made scapegOat, their
conduct toward him has been to the
last degree cruel, cowardly and treach-
erous. George w. McNear expressed
the general opinion when he said:
"The public may be interested in the
statement that the late wheat deal
was all the result of miscalculation
by Mr.. Brander, but the creditors
won't be likely to pay much attention
to it." If the creditors adhere to their
threatened intention of bringing suit
for their losses. we shall learn whether
it was the master or the hired man
that bet $11 900, 900 against the wheat
crops of the world.-[S. F. Post.
